Sony’s revamped PlayStation Plus subscription has now begun rolling out worldwide, and is available first in Asia from today.
The launch gives us our first proper look at the service’s full catalogue of games – although fans say it contains far fewer titles in its catalogue than previously expected.
Indeed, a guide to PlayStation Plus published yesterday on the PlayStation blog mentions “700” games available across the subscription’s various plans – a rough figure we’ve heard from Sony before – albeit with the caveat that these games will vary “over time and plan”.
However, the list of games provided by PlayStation for Asia in the Hong Kong region currently runs to 269 titles, far fewer than the 700 estimate.
There’s one major caveat here – this region does not have PS3 streaming games available (indeed, the higher-tier price is named “Deluxe” rather than Premium to denote this). However, there’s no expectation of anywhere near 500 PS3 games being available elsewhere to make up the difference.
